3 1/2 minutes ten bullets
In the Jordan Davis case, I believe that it was never really about Micheal Dunn feeling that his life was ever in danger and that Jordan Davis and along with the other teenagers were after him. I feel like it was more so the idea that he saw 4 BLACK teenagers all in a car playing some loud "Gangster" music that he really didn't like. Especially with the idea that Micheal Dunn said that he saw a Jordan Davis with a gun but, there was actually never a gun anywhere to be found. Also, I think that something that really played a big factor of why Micheal Dunn shot at the 4 teenagers in the first place is how us as a society till this day still fall into the stereotypes and labels on each other. Micheal Dunn could have looked at Jordan Davis and his friends and probably thought that they could be up to no good while in fact he didn't know anything about them. Therefore I believe that in this case the decisions that they made to put Micheal Dunn behind bars was a wise one.

I agree with you. I think it was important that Michael Dunn ended up behind bars. It showed that you can't just shoot into a car full of teenagers based on preconceived notions about black culture. He saw black teenagers and his mind went to "gangsters". Our nation is supposed to be moving towards racial equality and cases like this show that there is still a long way to go. Thankfully the justice system worked in favor of equality and Dunn got what I think he deserved.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with you both, their really was no clear evidence on why he had to shoot Jordan Davis. Plus, why did he randomly just have a gun on him or in his car driving home from a wedding?!
